Okay, that turned out much better than anticipated, especially when I realized you were rewriting the miniseries with Harry in it.

I do think Harry's being a little too cocky and I hope you have a plan for that to get knocked out of him a little bit.

Thank you very much for reading then, even though you didn't think it'd be to your taste.

I'm afraid Harry's on a post-Voldemort-slaying/hey-I'm-my-own-man high at the moment, so the cockiness will continue for a while. Don't worry, I have plans for that >:D

Thank you very much for reading then, even though you didn't think it'd be to your taste. -- If you think I don't like crossovers, you haven't read my body of work. :D Let me see, Tin Man with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Drangons and Ninjas), Tin Man with Alice (Making Whole), Tin Man and Medical Investigation ( Alchemy), and that's just the finished ones in Tin Man. I adore crossovers. I just have a preference for leaving the canon alone more often than not and building from there.

As for Harry, the abuse he suffered gave him more of an immunity to the Chosen One syndrome (IMHO). Since Hermione isn't here to knock down his swelled head, circumstances must due it for him. Though possessed Az can probably deflate it too. But as long as you have plans for that, I can't wait to see what Harry makes of the poor vapored Mystic Man. :)

Can't wait for the next part.

Whilst I'm ashamed to confess that I never really watched Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (I know, I know, and I call myself a 90s child) Alice and Medical Investigation? I shall definitely be checking those out soon. :D And I'm much like you in that I prefer crossovers that happen post-canon or, at least, seperate from it. But this was a plot bunny that wouldn't leave me alone. (This is what happens when I spend a whole month writing just one story for NaNo, my brain melts x.x)

Do you know how difficult it is to ignore leading comments like that and not tell you exactly how I bring Harry back down to Earth? ;)

I'm already about a third of the way through the next chapter, but they're epic-length chapters and pre-Xmas RL has just exploded. Still, I estimate midweek next week? Depends on how much effort I put into editing (or not...) ;)

OK, I'm excited. I like crossovers and am looking forward to this

Yeah, someone already commented on Harry's being a bit too cocky and I'll tell you what I told them - he's still on a post-Voldemort-slaying/Hey-I'm-my-own-man high and I have plans to bring him crashing back down to Earth >:D Don't forget that, PTSD aside, he's just come from a world where he was exalted as a hero and that goes to anyone's head eventually.

And Teddy? Oh Teddy... I didn't intend for him to be on this journey, it just sort of happened this way. Oops. Unfortunately I don't think there's anywhere safe I can leave him, not yet anyway. I'll agree with you though, it does make things very awkward, it's not exactly a baby-friendly adventure.

Thank you very much for your comment (<3<3 for criticism as well :D) and I hope my story lives up to your expectations. And, ah, feel free to share the Glitch-y love. I'm a bit worried I'll go OOC for him and I love him so much a fellow fan poking me when I do it wrong would be a godsend.
